Biggest Loser is a littler House

As Patrick House stood on The Biggest Loser scales for the last time, a large crowd outside a bar in Cayman held its collective breath, silently willing him to win. Among the crowd was one of his greatest supporters, his brother Donnie House, who lives and works in Grand Cayman.

“I was so excited… I was a nervous wreck,” Donnie said of the final minutes of the show. His brother was the last contestant to be weighed in during the two-hour live episode.

Describing the scene outside the Dog House bar in Grand Harbour as the crowd awaited the results, Donnie said: “It was dead quiet. No-one said a word. Everyone was hanging on the moment. Of course, [the show] dragged it out and it was torture as we had to wait and wait. When they finally announced it, the place erupted.”

He said he was delighted that so many people showed up to support his brother, and him, at the screening. “It was great to have that support in Cayman,” he said.

One of the first things Patrick House will do with his US$250,000 winnings is hop a flight to Cayman to visit his brother Donnie, who is the acting director at the government’s Internal Audit Unit. He is expected to arrive in Cayman on Friday.

Patrick lost 181 pounds from his 400 pounds starting weight to take the title. He beat two other finalists, Frado Dinten, who lost 162 pounds, and Ada Wong, who lost 99 pounds.
